"Some PROMISES are meant to be BROKEN" Agree or Disagree? / Guilty or Innocent?

Kd-fmay Ji, Though promises should never be broken once they are made. It would be preferable not to make promises if they are to be broken. But almost all of us break promises or are unable to keep up with the words we have made, that is but natural due to the over busy schedules we all have been keeping in this world. It is no doubt painful and frustrating to break the promises but to overcome the feeling of guilt we can plainly tell the other party the reasons for the same. We feel in an awesome siutation when we are waiting for some near and dear when the promised party does not turn up but still we have to believe the second time; because first time the said fellow may be having some genuine reason for not keeping up with the promise made.

I don't think I will. It takes time to build trust and only seconds to lose it. If I get hurt once I try to make sure that's the last time from that person. Many people have a tendency to say I promise and not realize it. So I don't believe in people who misuse the phrase. I don't make them promise anything in the future knowing that they won't probably keep it.

it pisses me off when someone make a promise and they will just break it ., especially if they keep on making one and breaking it more than what they said ., if you think that you cannot keep it then don't make any.,

The promises that are meant... or made... to be broken are obvious ones. Silly ones like "i promise I'll never hurt you"... I mean honestly. I can see.. I promise to never intentially hurt you, but you can't guarantee that you'll never hurt a person at all! You just never know. Any more, sadly enough - I promse to never leave you, and things of that nature seem to have no meaning. Then the totally off the wall ones like "I promise that I'll never look at another man/woman again" and "I promise to do the dishes for a month if you do them tonight" (my husband tells me that one.. or used to, often. hehe) There has to be a lot of sincerety in a promise. If you promise not to tell anyone something when a friend confides in you - that should hold true. Same as promising not to cheat - that's just a given... cheating is wrong! Dont' do it! All in all... I don't think they're made to be broken... and its sad when they are... regardless of how silly or sincere the promise is

yeah, I totally agree with that..I learned that since I was a teenager either from my mistakes or others..I made promise that I am pretty sure I can keep it, somehow from time to time I find it hard to keep up..because things can change. If someone promise something to me, I might believe it, but I may not put high hope on that promise.

whenever we make promises it cud surely result to consequences which is fulfilment and frustrations.. however, we always have chances and options to fulfillment.. promises can be broken but it is not always meant to be broken ;)

i put category when it comes to promises. don't do pinkie promise with kids UNLESS it can be done. it's a big deal to them. anyway, it's a case to case basis. maybe also, on our past experiences, we hated being given false hopes and so that's the one thing i don't pay forward at all. a promise is committing urself into something which would lead others to believe that it will happen or will have it. then again, if it's pure, why feel guilty when it was inadvertently broken? some thing's happened beyond our expectations. may or may not disappoint us or them. it's okay to keep the faith when someone made his or her promise. the thing is, as long as u dont depend ur life on it.
